Could an armed parent or teacher have made a difference in the recent Ohio school shooting?

That question could soon become the center of debate in Alabama, as one state lawmaker works on a bill that would make schools and colleges off limits for licensed gun owners.

Alabama state law currently allows adults who have a permit to carry their concealed weapon onto school property. But State Rep. Mac McCutcheon (R) of Madison calls that a safety hazard, one reason why he's pushing a bill to ban the practice. McCutcheon is in the process of drafting the yet-to-be named legislation, and told WHNT News 19 that Alabama's concealed carry laws should not extend to school property for the sake of safety.
